- SpellcastingLevel 1
You can cast sorcerer spells using Charisma as your spellcasting ability. You know 4 cantrips and 7 sorcerer spells at this level. You can use an arcane focus or component pouch to cast your spells. Cantrips known are included separately in the spells list.
- Draconic ResilienceLevel 1
You have a draconic magical origin. Your hit point maximum increases by 1 for each sorcerer level you have, and your AC equals 13 + your Dexterity modifier while you are not wearing armor. You also speak Draconic.
- Font of MagicLevel 2
You gain 4 sorcery points, which you can use to create spell slots or empower your magic. At level 6, you have 6 sorcery points total, equal to your sorcerer level.
- MetamagicLevel 3
You learn 2 Metamagic options, which let you shape your spells in unique ways. At this level, choose from options such as Subtle Spell and Twinned Spell.
- Ability Score ImprovementLevel 4
You improve one ability score or take a feat. This build uses the improvement to increase Charisma by 2, raising it from 12 to 14.
- Elemental AffinityLevel 6
Your draconic magic deepens. You gain resistance to the damage type associated with your draconic ancestry, and your natural talent with that magic becomes harder to resist. For this build, choose Red dragon ancestry, giving resistance to fire damage. Because the ability score improvement raises Charisma to 14, your spell save DC and spell attack bonus are recalculated accordingly.

Appearance
A lean tiefling with deep crimson skin, small swept-back horns polished to a dark sheen, and gold-flecked eyes that catch candlelight like a coin. He dresses in a practical charlatan's travel coat over well-kept but flashy clothing, with ink-stained fingers, a rakish smile, and a faint odor of smoke and expensive perfume. Arcane sparks occasionally shimmer around his hands when his temper rises.
Mannerisms
He speaks with deliberate pauses, as though choosing between several versions of the truth. When amused, he taps two fingers against his horn in a little mock salute. He habitually checks exits, reflections, and the condition of his sleeves before entering any room.
Personality
Wry, fast-talking, and charming when he wants something, Veyran treats every conversation like a negotiation and every silence like an opportunity. He is quick to laugh, quicker to deflect, and surprisingly tender with outcasts, strays, and anyone else the world has underestimated.
Ideals
Freedom. No bloodline, contract, or crown should decide who I become. If I must bend the truth to stay unchained, then so be it.
Bonds
He keeps a hidden ledger of everyone who ever showed him mercy, and he repays kindness with dangerous devotion. He also protects his current false identity with near-religious seriousness, because it is the first life he ever built for himself.
Flaws
He lies so easily that he sometimes continues a lie long after the truth would serve him better. When frightened, he gets chatty and theatrical, trying to talk his way out of danger instead of trusting others. He hates owing anyone anything, which makes him easy to manipulate with debts and favors.
Quirks
Background
Veyran learned early that people look harder at horns than at hands. Born in a riverport where superstition passed for law, he survived by being useful, entertaining, and just vague enough to avoid scrutiny. He began as a runner for dockside grifters, learned to forge seals and signatures, and discovered that a well-timed lie could open more doors than any key. The first time his latent sorcery erupted, it came as a burst of blue fire when a would-be buyer grabbed him by the wrist. The crowd called it a miracle. Veyran called it a useful enhancement. Now he travels under half a dozen names, collecting rumors, debts, and favors while pretending he is always one step ahead of the trouble he causes. His magic is not merely a tool, it is a stage act, a shield, and sometimes the only honest thing about him. He craves freedom, but the habits of a con artist have hardened into instinct. Every new town is a puzzle, every noble a mark, and every sincere friendship a risk he is not sure he deserves to take.
